Las Compas Mexican Restaurant - Liberty, Missouri - Victorian Style Architecture on Waymarking.com

Constructed between 1894 and 1899, this Two-Part Commercial Block retains nearly all of its original facade, which was executed in the Romanesque Revival style. Decorative cast iron pilasters enframe the storefront. A central recessed entry door is flanked by large display windows, with glass transoms above and original panelled bulkhead below. A simple cornice separates the first from the second story, which features an elaborate Romanesque Revival window treatment. A series of three, slender grouped engaged columns separates the upper story into three window bays, and provides the support for rusticated round stone arches. The bases of the grouped columns are rusticated, as is the entire surface of the upper story wall cladding. The central window bay is taller and larger, containing three windows. It is flanked by two single windows. Semi-circular engaged columns enframe the remainder of the upper story, and terminate in cone finials. A centered rectangular parapet extends above the roof, and features two cone finials and a panel with "Jr. O.U.A.M. No. 12." inscribed.
